This is my exploration of latent female anxiety that may remain invisible to the naked eye. Challenges that we meet in the modern world as females give rise to pressures to project an image of a calm, collected person while on the inside, we may be wrought with anxiety.

I carefully chose a single subject for this series whose personality mirrors mine. We have both experienced moving abroad and starting lives over in a new place as immigrants, which oftentimes lead to feeling as outsiders caught in between two worlds. We are forging our new identities based on our past and present, with a feeling of ambivalence as to where we truly belong.
